Worried about thoughts

Fri, Jan 4th 2008

I often have weird thoughts, like \"everyone should just go die\" and \"I hate everyone\". It\'s little thoughts in the back of my head, and I don\'t only think them in anger. A long with those, I find myself irrationally angry at people who are better than me, or do something I do. It often couples with thoughts of how I need to be better than everyone and when I\'m not, I get depressed and sometimes start drifting slightly from reality. I sometimes even think little suicidal thoughts. I want to know if this is anything I should be worried about, or if I\'m just over-hyping the whole thing.
